Ffion Jones

Ffion lives on the Swansea coast with her husband, two lovely daughters, and squirrel-obsessed dog. Ffion’s first book for VP is the highly moving ‘ I GIVE YOU THE MOON ‘. She writes books that help children to work through difficult real-life issues such as bullying, serious illness and bereavement. She also co-directs, writes and illustrates the ‘NURSE TED’ series of books, supporting children whose parents have been diagnosed with serious illnesses such as cancer ( www.nurseted.com ). More recently, she founded ‘FLY ME STORIES’, a social enterprise sending personalised stories to seriously unwell children in hospitals, hospices and at home
( www.flymestories.com ). As well as writing, she has been a creative writing and art tutor for a number of years, inspiring children’s confidence in their own imagination so that they can paint pictures with their own words. Ffion’s next book for VP will be ‘GRANDMA’S MAGICAL MEMORY BOX’.
